Dasypus novemcinctus mexicanus Peters, Monatsber. k. preuss. Akad. Wissensch. Berlin, p. 180, 1864 (name restricted by Bailey, N. Amer. Fauna, 25:52, October 24, 1905, to the subspecies occurring at Colima).
Range.—Probably statewide.
Specimens examined, 2; nos. 51392 from Tancítaro and 51964 from Apatzingan, 1,040 ft.
Remarks.—The female from Tancítaro is immature as indicated by the wide-open sutures between the bones of the skull which in over-all length is only 72.8 mm. The male from Tancítaro is older and the over-all length of the skull is 98.33 mm. Geographic considerations alone are responsible for our use of the subspecific name mexicanus; we do not know the morphological features which distinguish mexicanus from other named subspecies.
